Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-purity aluminum alloy smelting and casting, and specifically to a method for preparing high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingots for target materials. Background Technology

[0002] High-purity aluminum thin films possess advantages such as low resistivity, ease of deposition and etching, and mature processing technology, making them a primary conductive material for integrated circuits. Adding elements like Si and Cu to high-purity aluminum thin films can reduce electromigration and improve conductive performance. Aluminum thin films are formed by physical vapor deposition (PVD) using sputtering targets. The raw materials for sputtering targets are high-purity aluminum and high-purity aluminum alloy ingots, which are then smelted and cast from high-purity aluminum raw materials and alloys. Therefore, the compositional uniformity, microstructure, and internal defects of high-purity aluminum and high-purity aluminum alloy ingots directly determine the performance of the sputtering target. Especially with aluminum-silicon-copper ternary alloys, due to the large particle size of raw materials such as Si and Cu, which easily deposit at the bottom of the furnace, the smelting time is long and compositional uniformity is difficult to control. This leads to abnormalities such as segregation, hot cracking, and feather-like grains in aluminum-silicon-copper ingots.

[0003] CN101812590A discloses a method for producing aluminum-silicon-copper alloy using an electrothermal method. This method utilizes coal-based kaolin and copper oxide as raw materials, and petroleum coke and bituminous coal as reducing agents. The process involves sequential steps including raw material pretreatment, batching, pelletizing, and electrothermal preparation of the aluminum-silicon-copper alloy. However, the purity of the aluminum-silicon-copper alloy obtained by this method is not high, making it difficult to meet the requirements for high-purity sputtering targets.

[0004] CN107012345A discloses a method for preparing an aluminum-silicon-copper alloy. This method involves first melting molten aluminum and pure copper to obtain an aluminum-copper alloy substrate, and then melting the aluminum-copper alloy substrate with silicon to obtain the aluminum-silicon-copper alloy. However, the aluminum-silicon-copper alloy obtained through this two-stage melting process has poor compositional uniformity, further affecting the performance of the sputtered thin film.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to provide a method for preparing aluminum-silicon-copper ingots with good compositional uniformity and that can effectively avoid problems such as hot cracking and feather-like grains. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Example 3

[0062] This embodiment provides a method for preparing high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingots for target materials, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0063] (1) The aluminum raw material (purity 5N5) is melted at 760℃ to obtain aluminum liquid;

[0064] (2) Pack copper powder and silicon powder (both with a purity of 5N5) into an aluminum foil bag, and then vacuum process them until the final vacuum degree is 1×10. -6Pa, to obtain a powder bag, wherein the average particle size of the copper powder is 20 μm, the average particle size of the silicon powder is 20 μm, and the mass ratio of copper powder to silicon powder in the powder bag is 1:2.2.

[0068] Example 4

[0069] This embodiment provides a method for preparing high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingots for target materials. The only difference from Embodiment 1 is that the powder bag is added to the molten aluminum at once.

[0070] Example 5

[0071] This embodiment provides a method for preparing high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingots for target materials. The only difference from Embodiment 1 is that after copper powder and silicon powder are put into the aluminum foil bag, vacuum treatment is not performed.

[0072] Example 6

[0073] This embodiment provides a method for preparing high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingots for target materials. The only difference from Embodiment 1 is that the temperature of the condensate during cooling is 5°C.

[0074] Example 7

[0075] This embodiment provides a method for preparing high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingots for target materials. The only difference from Embodiment 1 is that the temperature of the condensate during cooling is 20°C.

[0076] Comparative Example 1

[0077] This comparative example provides a method for preparing a high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingot for a target material. The only difference from Example 1 is that step (2) is replaced by adding copper powder and silicon powder directly to the aluminum liquid obtained in step (1) to obtain an aluminum-silicon-copper alloy liquid.

[0078] Ultrasonic testing was performed on the aluminum-silicon-copper ingots prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0079] The aluminum-silicon-copper ingots prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1 were machined, and the presence of feather-like grains on the machined surface was observed. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0080] The copper content of the aluminum-silicon-copper ingots prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 1 was determined. The determination method was as follows: samples were taken from different parts of the aluminum-silicon-copper ingots in sequence, and the copper content was determined by ICP-OES detection technology. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0081] Table 1

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] The following points can be observed from Table 1:

[0085] (1) As can be seen from the data of Examples 1-7, the measured content of copper element is less than 0.01% different from the mass percentage of copper powder in the raw material, indicating that the composition is uniform and that the aluminum-silicon-copper ingot has no cracks and feather-like grains under the better conditions.

[0086] (2) A comprehensive comparison of the data from Example 4 and Example 1 shows that the only difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is that the powder bag is added to the aluminum liquid all at once. The measured content of copper in Example 4 fluctuates more than that in Example 1. This indicates that adding the powder bag all at once results in poor composition uniformity and the alloy composition is not easy to diffuse evenly. The present invention adopts the method of adding the powder bag in stages, which can further improve the composition uniformity of the ingot.

[0087] (3) A comprehensive comparison of the data from Example 5 and Example 1 shows that the only difference between Example 5 and Example 1 is that after copper powder and silicon powder are placed in the aluminum foil bag, no vacuum treatment is performed. The measured copper content in Example 5 is lower than that in Example 1. This indicates that not performing vacuum treatment may result in a lower density of the powder package, making it difficult to sink into the molten aluminum, leading to oxidation of some powder and loss. Therefore, this invention preferably performs vacuum treatment, which can further ensure the composition content in the ingot and avoid the introduction of oxides.

[0088] (4) A comprehensive comparison of the data from Examples 6-7 and Example 1 shows that the temperature of the condensate in Example 1 is 12°C, compared to 5°C and 20°C in Examples 6-7, respectively. In Example 6, the water temperature is too low, which can cause ingot cracks. In Example 7, the water temperature is too high, which can cause feather-like grains. This indicates that the present invention preferably controls the temperature of the condensate, which can effectively prevent ingot cracks and feather-like grains.

[0089] (5) By comparing the data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that step (2) is replaced by adding copper powder and silicon powder directly to the aluminum liquid obtained in step (1) to obtain aluminum-silicon-copper alloy liquid. The measured content of copper element in Comparative Example 1 fluctuates more than that in Example 1, which shows that the preparation method provided by the present invention can effectively promote the uniformity of aluminum-silicon-copper composition.

[0090] In summary, the method for preparing high-purity aluminum-silicon-copper ingots provided by this invention can effectively promote the dispersion of aluminum-silicon-copper, improve the uniformity of composition, and avoid the generation of cracks and feather-like grains.

[0091] The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
